I'm organising the first Love Hospice 10km run as part of my fundraising for the 2026 London Marathon. As a Hospice colleague and volunteer, every day I see the incredible difference our Hospice makes to the lives of Islanders.

So please join us for the first Love Hospice 10K. Following the first half of our ever-popular half marathon route, the relatively flat route will start at The Hospice Shop West in St Ouen. It will initially take runners out to the north-west of the Island - towards Grosnez - before heading south to Les Landes Common and returning back to The Hospice Shop West.

It's a run rather than a race, so all abilities, runners, and walkers are very welcome.

The course can be viewed here.

I look forward to seeing you there.
